Your company is scheduled for a facility security clearance (FCL) inspection. You must determine if the company should pay for a pre-inspection audit by a 3rd party. Of those companies that have passed the FCL inspection only 1% failed a pre-audit and 14% chose not to perform a pre-audit. If a company failed the FCL, there is a 45% chance that they also failed the pre-audit and a 10% chance that they passed. The FCL inspection has a 60% pass rate. What is the probability the company will pass the FCL inspection if you decide not to perform a pre-audit? Select the best answer.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has contracted with your company for equipment to monitor water quality for several lakes in your water district. A total of 10 devices will be used. Assume that each device has a probability of 0.01 of failure during the course of the monitoring period. a) What is the probability that none of the devices fail? b) What is the probability that two or more devices fail? c) If the EPA requires the probability that none of the devices fail to be at least 0.95, what is the largest individual failure probability allowable?

A particular industrial product is shipped in lots of 20. Testing whether an item is defective is costly; hence the manufacturer samples his production rather than using a 100% inspection plan. A sampling plan constructed to minimize the number of defectives shipped to customers calls for sampling 5 items from each lot and rejecting the lots if more than 1 defect is observed. (If rejected, each item in the lot is tested.) If a lot actually contains 4 defectives, what is the probability that it will be rejected?
